babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.
Interested or you know one who might be ?

Our two old line political parties have been directly responsible for Canadian apartheid since John A McDonald haunted the halls of power in Ottawa.

Bankrupt the churches involved! Especially since at least one of them still advocates the persecution of other marginalized groups - namely gays and women, and therefore have obviously NOT learned their lesson. No protection!

Those churches functioned as arms of the state, carrying out the official policy of trying to annihilate aboriginal culture, languages, etc., and assimilating aboriginal people into the larger society. They were carrying out orders and getting paid for it as well. Why shouldn't government bail them out for services rendered [to government]?
It's not just the churches that carried out these policies that should be sued into the ground. The governments that paid them, Liberal and Conservative alike, should be permanently driven from office. But it's useful to see the links that still exist between these institutions.
The government is DEFINITELY culpable. And they're paying (although they should be paying way more). The churches should have to as well.
I know as a child I struggled with the notion of burning in hell for being who I was?
I am posting Kevin Annett's documentary in National. Same rationale as before: Indigenous people know this stuff, they lived it, and may choose not to watch. It is Canadians who need to know.
There was much more to the schools than physical and sexual assault, and yet official 'Canada' will not even apologize for that. I think it is up to us now.
The government must be sued separately from the church.
What I mean the only event when the government must bail out the Church is after the latter has been found with not enough money to compensate and had declared bankrupcy.
Thus, the government must pay for its responsibility as IT has contracted the Church. The Church must face the music of its deeds even if it leads to its bankrupcy.
